Canto Ostinato - Introdans

Typhoon by choreographer Krisztina de Châtel - queen of minimalist dance.
In a windless prologue accompanied by the rippling piano sounds of Simeon ten Holt’s Canto Ostinato, the dancers prepare themselves for what is to come. They hang off balance as if leaning against the wind. Their arms cleave the air. They are ready for battle. Then the growing noise of wind machines drowns out the soft piano sounds. The dancers fill their lungs and proudly fight this (invisible) matter that they make tangible while dancing. The monumental dance performance Typhoon (1986) by choreographer Krisztina de Châtel will be revived in the spring of 2025 and danced by the dancers of Introdans. The choreographic urge for order of De Châtel is tested in this performance, as it were, in a flying storm.

Canto Ostinato - Ballet

Canto Ostinato by Simeon ten Holt has inspired the French choreographer Martin Harriague to make a new dance production ‘Crocodile’ which will take place in September and November in the theaters of France. 

Crocodile stages the coming together of two bodies which agree, punctuate each other, question each other as so many words come together during a meeting: that of the choreographer and the dancer Émilie Leriche with whom he creates and performs the room. The bodies come closer, avoid each other, follow each other, brush against each other and then end up touching. The gazes hold on, never letting go, in an unpredictable, hypnotic and moving synchronism.

A refined and delicate piece oscillating between attraction and repulsion, softness and clash, in which the choreographer translates love and its fragility through living bodies in search of harmony.
